Floyd Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 So what's the better deal? Two 3rd round picks and Tevaughn Campbell for Adams and a 5th or Charleston Hughes (or a 4th rd pick) for Adams or Danny Vandevoort for Adams....

Anway, has it been confirmed that he was crossing an international border or had? He could have been boarding a plane in Saskatoon to go somewhere else in Canada, is why I'm asking. If he did go international, for sure smuggling charges and he's a dumb ****. If not, for a possession charge to stick he would have to have a decent amount on him. Though that might be different with it being in an airport. As for his WPG charge, I'm going to go out on a limb and say he had cocaine. Just a guess but I don't know why they wouldn't say it was cannabis if that's what it was. His previous charge could also be playing a role in his most recent arrest. Either way I love it! **** YOU DURON! Too late!! He has ****** himself! Bigblue204 and SPuDS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gets to decide the difference between the two scenarios? The League Office & Randy Ambrosie. He's not clueless like Jeff Orridge was. You don't think that when a CFL star is cut after one year he won't know? Then there's social media with guys like Justin Dunk & other media members posting stories that so & so has a tryout with the Bills, Dolphins, Jets or other NFL teams. It'd be hard for teams to hide it. They'll comply. Edited February 3, 2018 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 With Carter i tgink the fact the Winnipeg charge has been kept under wraps till now leads one to believe it possibly a more serious charge/offence and that a) he never told the riders of it or (b) they did find out and they themselves were trying to hide it..which would be a standard grease ball Jones move. Anyway wonder what he was doing here at that date anyway which is kinda curious.. and also wonder if riders knew prior to resigning him if they would have...

For one thing, you can be under .08 and still be charged/convicted, and the same applies if you are not even behind the wheel . Refusing to provide a breath sample is also an offence. Being wrecked on other MAS's is also going to get you in trouble. Edited February 3, 2018 by tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being wrecked on other MAS's is also going to get you in trouble. Quote Changes are coming to the way drunk drivers are policed and prosecuted in Alberta with the provincial government set to issue a directive to police that will largely decriminalize impaired driving, CBC News has learned. Officers will be given wide discretion whether to criminally charge those who blow over the legal limit. But, for the most part, first time offenders will see roadside administrative sanctions rather than face criminal charges according to CBC sources. The model Alberta is working toward looks much like British Columbia's, with fines, roadside towing and licence suspensions issued by police instead of criminal charges being laid. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/drunk-driving-laws-decriminalize-2018-changes-police-licence-1.4468021 well, that's what alberta /bc are doing. not here I guess.

DWI charges are hybrid- both a summary and a criminal offence. Summary offenses are provincial charges and in Manitoba fall under the Highway Traffic Act, but the criminal charges are federal and must be changed by Parliament. Alberta may change their equivalent of our Highway Traffic Act, but since the criminal charge fall under federal law, I'm not sure how that is going to work there. Provinces govern driver and vehicle licensing so if convicted, you could still go to jail but still keep your license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are criminal code charges (federal) and are not ever "provincial". .08 and drive while impaired are criminal code charges but law is administered provinically.
